What to know about Too Yumm Roasted Makhana Peri Peri Healthy Snack

Light fox nuts, heavy on salt and oil

A 16 g pack of roasted fox nuts (makhana, 67%) coated in sunflower oil and a peri peri seasoning of salt, sugar, maltodextrin, spices, tamarind, rice flour and flavourings. It is sold as a light, anytime namkeen for people who want a crunchy snack that is not a fried chip.

Per 100 g it has 510 kcal, 6.7 g protein, 3.4 g fibre, 26.3 g fat (4.0 g saturated) and 1,280 mg sodium, with 2.5 g added sugar. The printed serve is 12 g, which gives about 61 kcal, 0.8 g protein and 154 mg sodium. The whole 16 g pack is about 82 kcal and 205 mg sodium.

The front says roasted not fried and plant protein. Makhana is real and leads the list, but the oil it is tossed in brings the fat to 26.3 g per 100 g, and the protein is small. The seasoning also carries flavourings, TBHQ and flavour enhancers. CleanPlate scores it DB4.

Why Too Yumm Roasted Makhana Peri Peri Healthy Snack scores DB4

Nutrition is a D on 6.7 g protein and 3.4 g fibre against 510 kcal per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, held back by flavouring and several additives. Risk is a 4, driven by 1,280 mg sodium per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 6.7 g per 100 g and fibre is 3.4 g, against 510 kcal. Most of the protein comes from the makhana itself, which is the only ingredient that adds anything here.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. Fat is 26.3 g per 100 g, mostly from the sunflower oil the nuts are coated in.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

Makhana leads at 67%, followed by sunflower oil and the seasoning. No hydrogenated fat is listed, trans fat is declared as 0 g, and there is no palm oil, so none of those cost points.

The points are lost in the seasoning: nature-identical flavouring, TBHQ (319), calcium phosphates (341), silicon dioxide (551) and the flavour enhancers 627 and 631 each cost ingredient points. Citric acid and tocopherol (307b) cost none. No label promise is hollow.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sodium is the biggest driver: 1,280 mg per 100 g, about 154 mg in a 12 g serve. It accounts for most of the risk number.

Energy at 510 kcal per 100 g adds to it. Saturated fat at 4.0 g per 100 g is under the 5 g high line, and added sugar at 2.5 g is small.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
